Distressing Suicide
The Wilmington papers contain accounts of the suicide of Miss Boyd,
equally distressing:
Miss Adelade Boyd, aged 25 years, daughter of Dr. John Boyd, a physician
of this city, committed suicide on Monday night, at her father’s
residence, No. 804 Jefferson street, by taking a dose of strychnine.
She awoke her sister and cooly informed her of what she had done. She
said she obtained the strychnine from her father’s medicine chest and
took and unusually large dose in order to effectually accomplish her
purpose. Dr. Boyd says the quantity she took was sufficient to kill a
dozen men. After enduring fearful sufferings, the young woman died
between 12 and 1 o’clock.

Death from Coal Oil.
Emma Boyd, aged 10 years, a daughter of Amor Boyd, who drives a wagon at
Marley Mills, was frightfully burned by the explosion of a coal oil can,
on Friday afternoon of last week. The child had been told by her mother
to put a stick of wood in the stove, and instead of doing so she took up
a coal oil can and poured the oil into the fire, causing an explosion, the report of which was heard at the mill, a quarter of a mile off. Dr.
Mitchell dressed the body of the little one with linseed oil and lime water, and describes the condition of the body as having been literally
cooked. The little sufferer died the same evening.
